2. From very young days Birsa was against superstition. Once, his left leg was wounded while cutting wood. He went to a village quack. The quack said that the wound was caused by an evil spirit. Birsa would have to sacrifice a goat to cure himself of his wound. Birsa did not do this. Instead, he told people not to believe in superstitions. His fight against superstitions turned into a movement. He fought against cruel money lenders and policemen. The number of Birsa’s followers increased day by day.

But the police failed to arrest Birsa. For about four years Birsa continued his fight against the Government without getting arrested. So the Government declared rewards to capture Birsa.

Trees are the kindest things I know,’
They don’t harm, and they simply grow.
And spread shade for sleepy cows,
And gather birds among the boughs.

They are the first when the day’s begun.
To touch the beams of the morning sun.
They are the last to hold the light.
When evening changes into night.

And when a moon floats on the sky,
They hum a drowsy lullaby
of sleepy children long ago,
Trees are the kindest things I know

3. There are many kinds of kangaroos, and they are all different in size. The wallaby, for example, is only as big as a rabbit. But the great kangaroo, or a forester, is nearly two and a half metres tall and weighs about 90 kilograms.
4. A kangaroo has very large hind legs upon which it stands. It uses its long powerful tail to balance itself when standing. The tail also gives it an extra push when jumping and leaping. Normally, a kangaroo hops from two to three metres with each leap. But when it is in a hurry or in danger, it can hop even six metres. And its tail is very useful in these long hops.

1. There was a very big and handsome rooster. He looked like a king with his beautiful red crown. He also felt like a king. He got up very early in the morning, sat in a high place, and sang non-stop-cock-koo-doodle doo, cock-koo-doodle doo. He knew that his song was much better than the songs of the other roosters in his locality. But he wanted to make his song still better, louder, and clearer. But how to do this was his problem. It was a problem till a jackal suggested a way out.
2. The jackal saw the rooster singing every day early in the morning. But it sang keeping his eyes open. If he would try to catch the rooster, the rooster would fly away to the tree. This was what happened the other day when he tried to catch a rooster. So he came to the rooster and said, “Oh great, handsome, king-like rooster! Your song will be really nice if you sing closing your eyes.”

[Beside the path is a trap. A tiger is inside the trap. A poor Brahman passes by. The tiger asks the Brahman to help him.]

Tiger        : (Looking very humble) Let me out of this cage, O, pious Brahman!
Brahman  : I cannot trust you. If I let you out, you will kill and eat me.
Tiger        : (with tears in his eyes). No, Holy one ! Never! How you distrust me! Never would I harm you. I could not be so ungrateful. Let me out, and I will serve you as a slave for my whole life.
Brahman  : Very well; I will trust you and let you Out. Mind you. keep your promise. [The Brahman opens the door of the trap, and lets the
tiger out. The tiger at once, catches the poor man]

Brahman: You cruel, ungrateful beast! Is this the way to repay an act of kindness?

Scene – 2 (ଦୃଶ୍ୟ – ୨)

Place    : Another part of the jungle.
[The Brahman first meets a peepal tree, and tells it the whole story. He then asks whether the tiger is not showing ingratitude in trying to kill one who did a favour]
Tree          : What have you to compain about ? I am treated just as badly as every day. Don’t I give shade and shelter to everyone who passes by, and don’t people in return tear down my branches to feed their cattle ? Is it the way of the world ? So don’t complain be a man !
Tiger        : Now you are satisfied, aren’t you. O’ Brahman ?
Brahman : Not at all. Here comes an old dog. I must ask him; I am sure he willtell a different tale.
[An old dog cornes slowly along the path. He is toothless and half blind, and looks very angry J
Brahman : (To the dog) — 0 dog, I have just let this cruel tiger out of the trap. Now he wants to kill me and eat me. Is that fair? Is this the way in which kindness is repaid in this world?
Dog        : Fair or not, I don’t know. But this is the usual treatment we get from our masters. Look at me! When I was young and useful to my master, guarded his house and helped him in hunting, he treated me with kindness and gave me good food to eat. Now I am old and weak, toothless and half-blind. Does my master reward me for the past services? No ! Instead, he has driven me out to starve. It is the way of the world, and you must put up with it.
Tiger       : Ha! Ha ! The second witness also goes in my favour. Prepare to die, Holy Brahman.
Brahman : But wait just one moment, My Lord. Here comes a jackal. Let me ask him also. [A jackal comes along the path. The Brahrnan tells him the whole story]
Jackal      : I dont follow much. Please tell me once again.
Brahman : This tiger was caught in a trap. I took pity on him, and let him out. Now he wants to kill me and eat me. This is the way he rewards me.
Jackal      : I am afraid I don’t understand. All seems to go in at one ear and out at the other! I will go to the place where it all happened and then perhaps I shall be able to give a judgement. [So they return to the trap]

(କୁକୁର କିପରି ତା’ର ମୁନିବକୁ ସାହାଯ୍ୟ କରିଥିଲା ?)
Answer:
The dog in its young days helped its master a lot. He guarded his house, and helped him in hunting.

Question 10.
Was the master grateful to the dog for its help?
(ମୁନିବ କ’ଣ କୁକୁରର ସାହାଯ୍ୟ ପାଇଁ କୃତଜ୍ଞ ଥିଲା ?)
Answer:
No, the master of the dog was not grateful to that dog.

Question 11.
How do you know that the master is not grateful ?
(ତୁମେ କିପରି ଜାଣୁଛ ଯେ ମୁନିବଟା କୃତଜ୍ଞ ନୁହେଁ ?)
Answer:
Instead of great help of the dog to his master, the master drove it out to starve when it became old, toothless and half-blind. From this we know that the master is not grateful.

Question 12.
Whom did they meet next?
(ତା’ପରେ ସେମାନେ କାହାକୁ ଭେଟିଲେ ?)

Next they met a jackal.

Answer:
No, the jackal did not fail to understand, he just pretended to be so.

Question 14.
Where did the jackal want to go to give his judgment?
(ବିଲୁଆ ତା’ର ନିଷ୍ପତ୍ତି ଦେବାପାଇଁ କେଉଁଠାକୁ ଯିବାକୁ ଚାହୁଁଥିଲା ? )
Answer:
The jackal wanted to go to the place where all things happened to give his judgment.

Question 15.
The peepal tree did not help the Brahman. So did the dog. Do you think the jackal will help him?
(ଅଶ୍ଵତ୍‌ଥ ବୃକ୍ଷ ବ୍ରାହ୍ମଣକୁ ସାହାଯ୍ୟ କଲା ନାହିଁ । କୁକୁର ମଧ୍ୟ ସେଇଆ କଲା । ତୁମେ କ’ଣ ଭାବୁଛ ବିଲୁଆ ତାକ ସାହାଯ୍ୟ କରିବ ।)

Answer:
This poem is an old poem. Because nowadays we do not have telephone wires, but we have towers.

Question 22.
Poets give life to lifeless objects. They often treat non-living objects as living objects – living or even animals or insects as human beings. Do you find such examples in this poem? The spider is like a weaver. What about the sun and the moon?

8. Let’s Think

Let’s see how poems are made. The poet saw cobwebs on telephone wires. Quickly he linked it to the unfinished clothes of the weavers. A comparison is made between the spiders and the weavers; maybe he saw the cobweb during the daytime. It looked white. Next, he saw the cobweb at sunset. They looked colourful. Lastly, he saw the cobweb in the moonlit night. It looked magical white. Quick linking, comparison, different scenes – cobweb in daylight, cobweb at sunset, cobweb in the moonlit night. All these sights appeal to our eyes. These are called visual images. We can close our eyes and see these beautiful sights. Then the lifeless objects are given life. The sun is pouring colour on the cobwebs. The moon changes the colour of the cobweb. Finally, the poet put all his thoughts and feeling in the form of a poem using the right words at the right places, some words rhyming with other words. All these have turned a simple and common sight into a beautiful poem.
Now the question is: Are poets born or made?
Is it possible to become a poet? Think, think, think ……………

1. Once upon a time, there was a very rich man. He along with his family lived in a big palatial building on the top of a hill. His house was surrounded by tall boundary walls like the Chinese Great Wall. The walls were his protection from outside attacks. He too had private soldiers and a great bulldog to protect him. In moonlit nights the building looked very beautiful. From there one could see the river, small hills, long stretch of paddy fields, small huts of poor farmers scattered all around-all flooded by the magic of moonlight. During moonless dark nights the building had a special look of its own. The building, the walls all around and the gardens inside were lit by lamps. From a distance one could see dazzling stars in the sky but the small huts were sleeping invisibly at night. The rich man lived there like a king very happily.

His happiness got doubled when he saw the poor farmers living in small huts down the hill toiling hard in their fields. His only sorrow was that his U only son did not like all his richness and glamour. Often he found him sitting alone in his garden looking down the hill at the poor farmers toiling in their fields and the rivers flowing by. He was found to be very indifferent to all the richness and glamour of his father.

2. One day the rich man took his son to the poor people living in small huts down the hills. He had in his mind to show his son how rich he was in contrast to the poor farmers. He thought this would work like medicine for his son’s sadness. When his son would see these poor people living in small huts, his sadness would disappear. He would realize how privileged he was in contrast to those poor farmers. In a beautiful car, he took him all around. He made him see the poor farmers living in wretched condition. For the first time his son who lived like a prisoner in a big house got the chance to see the outside world. Throughout the tour his father was telling how these poor people were living in great difficulty. On his way back, very satisfied, he asked his son, “Did you see how poor the farmers are? What did you learn from this ?” His son sadly replied,
“We have one dog, they have four.
We have one pool, but they have rivers.
We have artificial lamps, but they have the moon and stars.
We buy food, they grow theirs.
We have walls to protect us, they have friends.
We have encyclopedias, they have Bibles.
Thank dad for showing me
How poor we are
Really I want to live
With them there.”

You have magic in your fingertips,

You let me be myself with you,
There is magic that you teach me
To be good and brave and true.

And soon I’ll go away,
But the magic you taught me
will go with me every day.
